There is NOTHING wrong with going to school online. In the resources section I have posted the link to an online community (blogs and forums) specifically for people pursuing online education. There you can see what experiences other people have had with many different online schools.

While University of Phoenix is a for-profit school, there is nothing wrong with the education that you will be getting if you decide to study there. I have a friend who is getting her degree through them and she loves it! There are a lot of varying opinions about the University of Phoenix. I have included a link to a forum thread where people talked about University of Phoenix’s reputation amongst employers and other students in the resource section. It’s an interesting read and will probably be helpful for you!

If you are going to pursue your education online you will definitely need to know how to defend your online degree. Some people don’t respect the amount of dedication and skill that it takes to get a degree online, and you need to know how to defend your education if need be.

Remember, there are TONS of schools out there that you can choose from, so you don’t HAVE to go to the University of Phoenix. Since I’m not sure what kind of degree you are looking for I have also included a link to a list of online colleges and universities that offer online degrees and programs.

Lastly, you have to remember to make sure that whatever school that you decide on is accredited. There are a lot of places out there that will try to sell you a fake degree. Keep your eyes open!

I hope all that helped! Good luck!!
